One of our goals this year is to strengthen the discipleship of CCA staff and students. Coach Trent Gamble challenged his football players to "follow Christ at all times" during the first two weeks of practice. On the field the players were tested physically battling heat and exhaustion. Off the field they were strecthed spiritually, disciplining themselves to go before the Lord and grow in their faith.
Each player was given a daily assignment in God's Word and after two weeks, Coach Gamble selected six players to be the small group leaders for the rest of the year. They are Dominique Pierre, Kyle Whitley, Alex Garner, RJ Barnett, Kyle Lee, and Geoff Gregory.

Coach Gamble said, "they will be held to the standard of a leader and I am looking forward to seeing them grow and to seeing them lead on and off the field. Please keep all of these guys in prayer as I know they will be tempted and challenged." 2 Timothy 2:2 says. "commit (the things you have heard from God's Word) to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." Coach Gamble gets it! These six football players get it.
Are you reday to step out and lead by following Christ at all times?

Our kids r under such attack from media, the world, the enemy, the flesh. May the Lord empower these young men to set a standard for Christ that spreads to include more and more.
